Thanks!  (To Warp also.)  This led me to a workaround, but not really a full
solution.  Apple's Project Builder is a pretty nice program and works fine,
but isn't really made for simple c programming.  I did get gcc to work
though and just typing "limit stacksize unlimited" into my .cshrc solves
the problem.  I can still use Project Builder to type a nice-looking
formatted and syntax-colored file, but I'll just have to use gcc to compile
instead.  Took me a while to do the research and figure this out.  I guess
there just isn't room for programming newbies...  Thanks though.  I've
worked out the details of the rest of the program, but the most basic part
has been holding me up for a while.  And for Warp, straight out of the
Konsole:

Thanks again!
